Please, try to be more charitable. I really don't think he's deliberately lying.

Probably not, but I can't help but notice that he hasn't addressed his prior quotes. I'm trying to imagine someone that deluded, but it is difficult. I suppose it is possible, even likely that he is that deluded. It is difficult to place someone in that type of mindset, however.

Yet it happens. I once knew a preacher (he was famous in my town when I was a boy) who answered all questions with quotes from scripture. He literally had no ideas outside of the bible. And he was sincere. He thought his quotes (his memory was prodigious) provided perfect answers, and even follow-up questions were futile. He would merely repeat the scripture. I think this is what we are witnessing here. A very Pavlovian mind, nothing more. Sort of a missing link, as it were.
